Some 310 members and guests of the Class of 1957 returned to campus Oct. 27-29 to celebrate their 50th anniversary reunion. The class reunion gift of $757,000 will support Tech's planned fine arts center, Newman Library, corps of cadets scholarships, the Holtzman Alumni Center, and grants for the Highty-Tighties.
